For example, here is the time allotment for Module 1 "Time Allotted: Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours." If we use the minimum times for for all 4 modules, we have a 4 hr. class. If we use the maximum times for each, then we have a 6 hr. class. If we use something in between the min/max times, when we have a class that falls between 4 hrs. and 6 hrs.

I had planned to do my full presentation on the use of force/deadly force and cut the time on other subjects. However, the new DPS course outline just released sets out max/min. times for each of the 4 food groups. It also is pretty detailed as to what they want covered and that combined with the max/min times made it a totally different course than I had planned to give. I had amended my PowerPoint presentation to accommodate the 4 classroom hours, but now I'm going to start from scratch.

Next session we need to repeal the requirement for non-violent dispute resolution so we can spend more time on use of force.
